FOR MEMBERS OF THE POLITBURO OF THE CC RCP(b)

Comrade Molotov!

I am sending this for the information of Politburo members.

Please put it on the agenda.

23/XI. Lenin

My reply:

Comrade Okulov! I very much regret that I cannot send the recommendation that you are asking for. I would have done so gladly if this were a matter of a personal recommendation.
